Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
An SMV of -30 and nigori texture give a syrupy, strong sweetness, while acidity of 2.0 and junmai rice umami add body. Aroma stays restrained and rice-led, placing it in the jun (rich, restrained) type.

About
Chikuma River waves hesitating, Near the shore, at an inn I climbed to, Drinking the turbid sake, the cloudy one, On a grass pillow, I find brief solace. Fujimura no Nigorizake takes its name from a passage in "Chikumagawa Ryojo no Uta" (Song of Travel on the Chikuma River), a celebrated work by the writer Shimazaki Toson. Picture Toson drinking nigori (cloudy, unfiltered sake) at an inn on the bank of the Chikuma River, and let this cloudy sake bring you a moment of comfort, as the poem describes.
